Well Citrix now has load evaluators that have IP address range
restrictions. This will return an error to the user when they launch the
app from outside the address range.=20
I had some failures with this early on and found that it often returned
an IO error to the user and not an informational message like "hey, your
external don't try it". Instead it returns an IO error which is the same
error you get it all your servers have hit maximum load (10000 load
index) and none are available to service that app.
Anyway I use the clntinfo.exe to read the client IP address, then based
on the IP kick off the app or not. This is a simple script and I only
use it on apps that require limited access based on IP

Subject: [THIN] Published app access inside or out!
Hi all,
I know this topic has been beaten to death in the past, but I wanted to
revisit it with newer operating systems and newer versions of Citrix.
How do you limit published apps so they are only accessible on the LAN
for certain users and others are accessible from Inside or Outside the
LAN. Is everyone still creating multiple ICA connectors with different
IP's?
I have another MetaFrame install that certain users will need access
from everywhere (including a time clock software package) and obviously
most user can not access this app from say home!
I have done this in the past, I was just wondering if anyone has a
better way.
TIA,
-Eric S. Perkins

What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers? Did you
know, in most cases, CPU Utilization IS NOT the single biggest
constraint to scaling up?! Get this free white paper to understand the
real constraints & how to overcome them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather
than buying more servers.
